A huge number of harmful chemical compounds contained in cigarettes cause serious harm to the human body..

The respiratory system is the first to suffer in smokers..

But the cardiovascular system also receives no less harm - a person has shortness of breath, the ability to concentrate attention worsens, performance decreases.

Numerous doctors and researchers from all over the world are fully aware of the negative consequences of this bad habit, so they are tirelessly fighting against tobacco manufacturers.. A group of Taiwanese scientists conducted several experiments to thoroughly study the effects of cigarette smoke on the male body..

At the end of the study, scientists found that tobacco smoke can cause premature hair loss. The researchers called smoking the main risk factor causing this pathology..

The experiment, which was organized by Taiwanese scientists, involved 700 males.. Most of the participants were elderly and middle. During the survey, it was found that those men who smoked a pack of cigarettes or more a day tended to early baldness.. Baldness was more progressive in the man who smoked more cigarettes per day.

It should be noted that in their experiment, scientists excluded the possibility of an error associated with age-related hair loss.. It was also taken into account that the Asian race is the least prone to hair loss.. Most of the Asians who are not prone to abuse of bad habits live to be 90 years old or more and do not experience baldness..

In smokers, baldness occurs due to the weakening of the hair roots.. The fact is that nerve endings, sebaceous glands, blood vessels approach the hair follicle, and the harmful substances of cigarette smoke worsen the quality of blood supply to small vessels, which leads to necrosis of the hair roots.. Scientists recommend quitting smoking for those who want to keep lush hair for a long time.

However, it should be noted that there is a genetic predisposition to early baldness, and in this case, quitting smoking will not help maintain hair..
